The Mediterranean maestro’s behind Olive recommend their crunchy Classic Caesar Salad. While we have always loved the traditional Caesar, one other salad on their menu just pops out at us; the Scottish Salmon, Potato Salad & Chia Crunch.

Recently opened Uncafe in Green Park is a salad bar like no other, they have so so many options to choose from.

We recently visited the Bloom Cafe & Cakery in Basant Lok Market and fell in love with their quinoa salad that was equal parts delicious and fresh, the perfect pick-me-up on a hot summer evening.

Genre in Def Col Market didn't take much time to become our weekend chilling spot. Their salads are super fresh, well-seasoned and if we may, quite indulgent.

Okay, we agree that Fig has become one of those 'everyone's favourite' spots in Delhi (which could be the reason you have to wait at least an hour for your table) but what can we say, we genuinely like their food because it's fresh, preparations are nice and the menu is quite extensive so options are many.  For salads, they have plenty of options like Sicilian Burratta Salad if you are in the mood for something simple, the Thai Larb gai Salad with chicken for non-vegetarians who enjoy spice and their seasonal specials usually have some or the other salad so your veggie cravings are sorted.

We love how Omo's always coming up with new dishes to keep things interesting and offer you the best of season. Since its an ingredient-first vegetarian cafe, you best believe their salads are going to hit the ball out of the park. We recently came across a post of their Bean & Banana Flower Salad on Instagram and have made a mental note for ordering it the next time we visit. Oh, and while you are there, try getting your hands on their Pineapple Salsa, for an explosion of spicy and tangy flavours in your mouth.

Andrea's is one of those comfy foody spots that never disappoints and same can be said or their salads. Fresh, full of crunchy greens and well-seasoned, the salads at Andrea's make for a delightful filler in between summer meals. Our current salad order is their Super Green Salad with the humble honey mustard dressing. Gorging on this salad honestly makes us feel better about our food choices in life, even though it's for a brief moment.

We have said it before and won't shy from saying it again, we love everything The Grammar Room does. As far as salads are concerned,  the loyal Grammar 'Roomies' know the Good Vibes Salad shall forever remain an OG. The red millet with melon combination with feta and that chilli balsamic dressing always slaps. Also, for the uninitiated, Grammar Room's always tweaking their menu to reflect the best of seasons. This summer, we are eyeing their poke mango bowl for when we want something a little more substantial to go with our fruits and veggies.

This section is solely dedicated to our love for Camillo's ‘The Manor’ Caesar Salad. Charred iceberg lettuce bulb and leaves are layered with a delicious creamy dressing, topped with crunchy butter croutons and finished off with parmesan. This salad is something so simple yet delectable that it leaves you wanting for more with every bite (consider this a fair warning). This caeser salad with a portion of potato fries or wedges and a glass of chilled Coca-Cola is our core memory of the perfect 'girl dinner' (iykyk) so definitely try it out if you haven't already!
